The DNA damage response (DDR) constitutes a multifaceted network of sensors, transducers and effectors that preserves genome integrity by detecting and repairing lesions arising from endogenous ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

The cell cycle is governed by a network of surveillance mechanisms that detect DNA lesions and coordinate repair with progression through G1, S, G2 and M phases. Central to this system are sensor ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and ...
